Funny thing is, Poser already has a great selection tool: the hierarchy editor. I'd love to see a few little changes there: - hierarchy window dockable (preferably left or right side of the screen, like in DAZ|Studio and Vue) - hierarchy window should show up collapsed by default, not expanded. If you have many figures/props in your scene, finding the right item in the hierarchy takes quite a few clicks and scrolls. And some other wishes: - parameter dial window dockable(preferably left or right side of the screen) - change the appearance of the dials to standard numerical textboxes with spinners. They take up less space, and both MacOS and Windows provide them straight out of the OS - efficient code plus standard behavior. - hierarchical library view, using less screen real estate. Vue does it exactly right. I KNOW that a library is a library, I don't need that damned folder icon! But I'd like to keep visual representations of figures, props and poses. - Layers like in Vue, or another ability to show, hide or lock entire groups of figures, props and lights. And the collision detection mechanism needs a BIG overhaul. It's so slow that it's unworkable, even on a high end PC or Mac. It's not reliable either, about half of the time I can pull an object through another object with collisions enabled.
The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
